[Weekend Poll] How Important Is Water-Resistance Going To Be In Your Next Smartphone Purchase?

With more and more smartphones featuring water resistance as standard, particularly Samsung's Galaxy S5, it seems like weatherproofing may be on the uptrend in the smartphone world. It's easy to see why - countless phones are lost to moisture-related incidents, whether it be a pool, toilet, or washing machine. Building phones designed to withstand the elements only makes sense, as nearly ever-present companions in our daily lives, our phones are bound to end up exposed to some less than electronic-friendly conditions during their lifetime.

So, with that in mind, how important is water-resistance, in particular, going to be for you when you make your next smartphone purchase? Vote in the poll below and sound off in the comments section.
